I think therefore IB?
I've been trying to work on stuff for IB all day, and it hasn't worked so well. It doesn't help that I "lost" an hour -- thanks, DST. It's your fault that I woke up at 10 instead of 9.
I really need to just practice my IB orals, for both English and Spanish, but mostly for English. I give my English oral last thing on Wednesday...and I really don't feel prepared for it. I mean, I know I'll do well, but I want to do exceedingly well, I want to finish and have Krucli staring speechless at me for a moment! (This is what I mean about having overly high expectations of myself, and how they lead me to ruin.)
And I can't find Prufrock, either of my copies of it, but when I asked mom if she knew where it was she began (as usual) to ransack my room while haranguing my lack of organizational skills without actually answering the question. She's got a bad habit of looking in all the places I've already looked, but when I tell her I've already looked there, or that she's trying to find a poem along with my physics notes, she gets angrier and harasses me about how my organizational habits are so bad that she wouldn't be surprised to find poetry and physics in the same binder.
So I still haven't found Prufrock. Not that it's that hard to analyze -- I basically know what I need to about it -- but it's still annoying.
The only way I'll really be able to study for the English oral is to practice doing English orals with other people, but I can't do that if everyone else I know is too busy working on other things! I haven't done a mock oral commentary since the end of first semester -- and I've only done it once. That's nothing. I should have already done it a million times, just to work the awkwardness of it all out of my system. But here I am, just days before the real thing, and I've only practiced it once. I don't know about you, but that doesn't make any sense to me. All the AP tests I've taken, I've studied them front and back, done millions of practice questions. So why haven't I done just as many practice orals?
I need to stop wasting time and just work on the reading.
